This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like pistachio ice cream, milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and coconut.

I don't really get much barrel here, but the balance and presentation of adjuncts is really well done. Pistachio isn't easy to pull off, but it does it well here. The coconut and vanilla are also well integrated.

This is very creamy, rich, and thick, with a solid sweetness without being too cloying.

This was a pleasant surprise, even with the muted barrel presence.
